The French Parliament has the National Assembly (lower house) and the Senate (upper house) similar to the system in the US, and both houses have a president of their own. The Prime Minister is in charge of the ministries, while the President is the official head of state. There are also more political parties than in the UK. France is a republic, having abolished its monarchy in the Revolution.

The British Parliament does have an upper house, the House of Lords, but they have few legislative powers these days and are not elected (there have been recent proposals for a Senate). Most of the government's activities will take place in the House of Commons. The Prime Minister is the leader of the country and is in charge of the House of Commons. The UK is a consititutional monarchy - the monarchy is still there but has no power.
